Entertaiment is any activity that provides enjoyment, amusement, diversion, or relaxation. It is often a way to escape from the worries of daily life or mundane realities, and can take the form of leisure activities, sports, games, social events, art, music, movies, reading, and other hobbies. Entertainment is a widespread human activity and the familiar forms have demonstrated a remarkable ability to cross over media types, remaining popular even through a variety of changes in society and culture.
The etymology of Entertaiment is derived from the Medieval Latin intertenere, with the prefix inter meaning “inside” and the suffix tenere referring to holding.
